    215 sundowner transom

    All that blue needs to go......WEAR PPE FROM HEAD TO TOE as well as a decent respirator!!! Cover anything up that you don't want covered in fiberglass powder. Your garage will get extremely white from grinding. Wear clothes that you are willing to throw away afterwards. Cover as much of you body...

    waterlogged foam in bowrider

    Get ready for some fun.....If the foam is wet, it's probably all or mostly wet. Pull the deck.....Check the stringers and transom from here. Are they salvageable? Should you just go ahead and replace? No way to know until the deck comes up. Get rid of that foam. Only way I can try to figure out...

    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    I can see why now......But you just watch me......This boat may sit for a while, but I one stubborn mule. I have 100% full support from my spouse regarding the boat. I am actually thinking on giving up one of my other hobbies, just so I can focus more on the boat when the right time comes, as...

    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    Still here gentlemen....Very disappointed that the boat has continued to sit untouched, but life has been so very busy! The utility trailer was finished and worked wonders to completely move us into out new home! That bad boy has become so useful ever since I finished it! It moved us, it got me...

    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    LOL! Nope. We were both offline that day. It was a nice day! So funny story.....The day I got married, while I was waiting to get my haircut beforehand, I received a notification that an off market duplex that my spose and I had previously fallen in love with, was back on the market! Long story...

    There is zero interest to help until I get around to any potential exterior artwork. Get married tomorrow!

    Hey Joe! I have been missing posting updates. With the cold weather and life getting in the way, I have not been able to get to my storage unit at all this winter. I have been working on purchasing a duplex, working a lot to save up for it, as well as refurbishing a utility trailer so I have...

    1970 Larson Lapline - Floor Help Needed

    Welcome! My recommendation to you is to start with posting some pics so we can all see what you are talking about. Secondly, If you have a rotten floor, then you almost certainly have rotten stringers, bulkheads and transom. You will find that the flor is the least of your worries right now...

    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    The only propane heater I have is the one in my pics from way back when I started trains the boat apart.....the harbor freight tank that creates a little fire pit inside... grays amazingly well... but I had to vent the tent

    Won't that cause propane fumes to linger inside of an enclosure?

    Of course.......It's going to be warm when I am stuck working all weekend😂. I get done here in 40 min...Going to use what little light is left today to slap a layer of paint on the trailer. This t5rialer should give me good practice for when it comes time to redo my boat trailer! On a side...

    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    Going on maybe a month since anything productive was accomplished. Boat is no longer in my yard so that makes things slightly harder to work on it....Not to mention the fact that all my toys and tools are still at my house so nothing much can be done until everything is at the storage unit. With...
